Oh no, they know everything and you do not. Did you get a special class on a brand roll out and take modules on whatever the fuck from your HR Team Lead/Team Member Benefits Coordinator? Of course not, so you just don't know. According to the attitude of someone very close to me that has been thoroughly indoctrinated in the Whole Foods Brand, they're well ahead of everyone on what is good and bad, they can't help but know better. Gargh.

Thank fuck I haven't run into that forced intimacy thing with our WF here, just the regular "Can I help you find anything" deal. Too many people in there for them to have time to do that hardcore I figure. I hate when other grocery employees comment on purchases--YES, I booze and the same fattening shit everytime, and NO I don't want to talk to you about it, just bag it and fuck off tyvm. It's happened at Trader Joe's mostly.

Yeah, TJ is big on the forced intimacy. It's part of their whole employee involvement program, which I've heard is VERY popular with people who work there. TJ offers a whole range of employee benefits that no other store does. I will say people there recognize me and have gone out of their way to help me. It doesn't "feel" as fake or corporate as WF employees who can't shut up with the questions about your purchases and life.

eta: The worst forced intimacy experiences are at big corp pet stores right now. Every cashier asked what kind of dog/cat/rat you own with the flattest affect, completely bored out of their minds.

CHILLY FREE!

Whole Foods is like Vegas. You go there to feel good but you leave broke disoriented and with the newfound knowledge there. My friend works at Whole Foods in North Carolina. I do not like Surviving Whole Foods.

I love WF, they play classic rock and no one has ever bothered me there. See celebs from time to time, Sally Fields, Marcia Cross, Derek Hough, Linda Gray to name a few. They have great specials every week. It's my kind of town Whole foods is.

Last week as my husband and I were driving home I remembered that I needed barbecue sauce to make dinner. Since we were close to WFs I made Mr. Lalique run in to get it. He texted me from the store: WTF kind of hippy, overpriced store is this?
